Journalistic spsrring.

Tho people of Virginia and North
Carolina are clamoring for the aboli.
tion of tho war tax on tobacco, and
the Neaos and Courier says let them
go out Of the Democratic party, or
words to that effect, If they are not
willing to submit to this Infamous
and unjust war tax, The Neaos and
Courier is not safe leader. We
want the war tax repealed and we
want Virginia and North Carolina in
the Democratic column. We will
will feel very lonesome about these
States in the next Presidential elec.
tion.
(Ne,vs and Courier.)
The Augusta Chronicle is not viii.
ling ito let Virginia Slide" We
have no desire that Virginia shall
slide into the Republican party, if
that is what is meant, but we had
rather lose the electoral vote Of Vir.
ginia and North Carolina, too, than
assent to legislation which is intrin.
sically wrong, as being contrary to
the interests Of the American people.
We approach this subject, Mr. Chron.
icle, as Americans, not as spoilsmen
or partisans.
(Augusta Chronicle.
The Neavs and Courier is not fair
antagonist. 1t presents only its own
side. The Chronicle presents public
opinion, and never refuses a fair and
full hearing on all public questions.
The Chronicle favors protection for
American industries, but it favors
and protects free trade in the FREQ.
dom of speech and the freedom Of
the press. The News and Courier
protects monopoly. because it trefuses
to give the other side hearing in its
columns.
(NeDs and Courier.)
Our bland-worded Augusta con.
temporary says that we refuse to give
1.-The other side' hearing in our col
umns. This is another no.such. thing.
We publish whatever we think is
worth publishing and reading, with.
out reference to the doctrine it incul.
Gates. But we do not feel under any
obligation to publish every long
winded letter that any donkey
chooses to send us.
(Augusta CAronicle.)
Will the Ne,Us and Courier answer
this question: ais the writer on the
tariff, under the nom de plume of
Tariff Reformer,' the same person
who wrote some time ago in the Nc,vs
and Courier under the signature 3D.

(Nems and Courier.)
Our inquisitivc contemporary, the
Augusta Chronicle, wants to know
whether the writer of the able article
on tie tariff, under the nom de rlume
Of Tariff Reformer," is fomebody
who wrote something else. We can
not see that there is any pertincnce
in the question. Let our contempo
rary deal with facts and arguments
The name is nothing. We never
dream of asking what particular Sol
omon is disporting himself in the
editorial columns Of the Chronicle
at any time, and for his sake, we fire.

Tho Neaus and Courier is rabid
free trade advocate. 1t heads the
letter of Representatives Henderson
Wise and Randall to- Speaker Car
Isle "Traitors In the Camp" The
Neavs and Courier does not represent
the views of the people of South

Gated tho denomination for governor
in 1876 Of the notorious Gov. y. III
Chamberlain, as the head of the pro
posed "Fusion Ticket"
(Neps and Courier.)
Let Us try to note some of the very
comical misstatements In the Chrou
icle. 1t says that the Ne,Us and Cou
rier "advocated the denomination fot
Governor, in 1876. Of the notorious
Governor D. Ii. Chamberlain, as the
head Of the proposed fusion ticket
Well, If we had. we should not be
ashamed Of It; but, as a matter OF
fact, we did not.
